I have a juvenile female who is approximately 1 year old. For the past two weeks, she has been hanging out more on the cool side of her tank, or under her hide. She stopped eating her usual BSFL one week ago and stopped defacating about 5 days ago. She was more active then usual for a few days in the beginning, especially when seeking the cooler side of her tank. For the past few days she has been sleeping more than usual. She shows no signs of stress otherwise. Temps and uvb are good. I did get her to eat one silkworm and one hornworm yesterday, she basked for a bit afterward and had a small poo. She ate one hornworm today. I of course offer more, but she refuses.
I assume all of this is possibly brumation, but would appreciate a more experienced opinion. I'm trying not to worry too much (she is my first beardie). However, when I weighed her today, she lost 20 grams since last week (went from 360 to 340 grams in 7 days). I have not been able to get a fecal sample since she isn't pooing enough. Would that much weight loss be a concern?
She also has MBD/calcium deficiency and was on daily liquid calcium and serrapeptase. If this is brumation, should I continue to give her those throughout?
Any and all advice is most appreciated! Thanks in advance.
